ACI Review: Maruti Celerio EZ Drive automatic

Recommended Posts

A new small car from Maruti is always big news. What makes it even more interesting is that the Indo-Japanese company has a habit of delivering blockbusters every now and then. And that's exactly what the Celerio looks like, a winning proposition, and here's why.

First up, apologies for not putting up professionally taken pictures of the car. Maruti will launch the Celerio at the Auto Expo and wants to keep up the suspense; so it has set a 'no pictures' embargo till the official reveal. For now spy pictures from the internet will have to suffice.

One thing's for sure, it's clearly a Maruti; or should we say a Suzuki. Designed in Japan to appeal to a wide global audience, this clean but safe design is unlikely to polarise opinion. An updated version of the Suzuki grille and the wraparound headlights are clearly attractive, and the tall bumper adds some character as well; but otherwise the design seems quite plain. Still, on the whole, the Celerio’s inoffensive styling should find favour among all types of buyers in the small car segment.
